This day is dedicated to the queen of flowers; that's the ROSE. A garden full of these scintillating blooms are stuff dreams are made of! Roses come in all hues, and as Shakespeare has said; 'a rose is a rose by any name.' Whatever the hue may be, dark or pastels, it steals our hearts. Do you know that our city Bengaluru is the largest exporter of these precious flowers every year? Rose cultivation is a bit challenging as it requires the right humidity, temperature, and soil nurturing, and, most importantly, to keep the blossoms free of mildew and pests.
Roses are also edible as they make for the delectable 'GULKAN' savored by young and old alike! Gulkan is made from a special fragrant pink rose, which adds up to the yummy taste and fragrance.
Roses are also used in the choicest perfumes, which are the most sought-after! Roses also make for excellent gifting and in eye catching decorations. Rose garlands are specially made to offer to the gods. So the next time you see a beautiful rose, think of all the other avatars of this nature's wonder; the rose. Happy rose day.
